I have a soft spot for bologna.

Shortly after my mother and I moved into an apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area, she slipped on some ice plant as we were walking over an overpass.  She broke her leg.

Bad news for a woman who waited tables to support us.

Money was tight and it felt like we were living on fried bologna and egg sandwiches.

I remember when she sat in a tub of hot water, trying to soften her leg cast.  She cut it off, walked to the Italian restaurant where she worked and waited tables with a broken leg.

When people ask me where I got my work ethic, I think of her and those fried bologna sandwiches.

On the evening of October 22, 2024, Grizzly 399 was fatally struck by a vehicle on Highway 26/89 in Snake River Canyon, south of Jackson, Wyoming.  The bear’s identity was confirmed through ear tags and a microchip.

Aw, poor thing. 🐻😢  Did they say how old #399 was?

And did she have quadruplets?  Isn't that very unusual?

I can't remember the last time I had bologna.  I used to love it.  It was a staple when I first moved out on my own because it was cheap.

Nothing's cheap anymore.

Wow, that's unusual to have two teeth chipped.  I hope the bonding holds this time.

She was 28.

This 28-year-old bear was the oldest known reproducing female grizzly in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Starting in 2004, she birthed 18 cubs in eight litters and had a penchant for hanging out with them near roads in Grand Teton.

There was a cub with her when she was killed.  They're saying there's a good chance of survival for him.  Some want him found and rescued.  And there we go again.  Interfere with Nature or let the cub be a bear.
